(a)  Power of authorities.--The Commonwealth pledges to and     agrees with any person, firm or corporation or Federal agency     subscribing to or acquiring the bonds to be issued by the     authority for the construction, extension, improvement or     enlargement of a project or part thereof that the Commonwealth     will not limit or alter the rights vested by this chapter in the     authority until all bonds and the interest on them are fully met     and discharged.        (b)  Federal matters.--The Commonwealth pledges to and agrees     with the United States and all Federal agencies that, if a     Federal agency constructs or contributes funds for the     construction, extension, improvement or enlargement of a project     or any portion thereof:            (1)  the Commonwealth will not alter or limit the rights        and powers of the authority in any manner which would be        inconsistent with the continued maintenance and operation of        the project or the improvement thereof or which would be        inconsistent with the due performance of agreements between        the authority and any Federal agency; and            (2)  the authority shall continue to have and may        exercise all powers granted in this chapter as long as the        powers are necessary or desirable for carrying out the        purposes of this chapter and the purposes of the United        States in the construction or improvement or enlargement of        the project or portion thereof.
